And the I AM answered me in a Thought: “Tell them who I AM.” Throughout Scripture, the title “Rock of Israel” stands as one of the most vivid revelations of God’s character. It is a name that gathers His strength, His faithfulness, and His immovable sovereignty. When the biblical writers speak of God as the Rock, they are not reaching…
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (ESV) The “prize” of the Christian life is that “upward call.” It is a call that goes far deeper than teachings and doctrines. It is fueled by an inward press of the Spirit of God…
To grasp the vision of the immortal sons and daughters of God, we must confront the reality of God’s sovereignty. God is totally in control. He rules. He governs every detail of our lives and every event unfolding on earth. He is the Supreme Authority, acting according to His will without seeking our permission. God…
Before we come to repentance and are busy with all this life offers, the born again experience is misunderstood by the world for it is spiritually discerned. The world around us stays the same as we are transformed by the holy spirit (1 Corinthians 2:11-14) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save…
The preacher said— “One day we’ll all be together again…” and the women in the second pew held each other like shipwreck survivors clinging to wet lumber. But I been reading the Book at 3 AM with burnt coffee breath and thunder sitting low in my chest like bad weather, and I can’t find many…
From: A Beyond Tomorrow E-mail The first step of longsuffering is to exercise restraint and do nothing. We must think first! What does God want me to say or do? The Power of Longsuffering in a Short-Tempered World Note: Scripture Links are from me to the Worthy Bible with Strongs site. Longsuffering, though rarely used today, is…
We see the loving kindness of God when Abraham had two sons, one born of Sarah’s maid Hagar who was Ishmael and the other born to Sarah and Abraham named Isaac. The difference here holds great meaning to those of us who are known as being of the seed of Abraham. For the one born…
There are seasons when the battlefield of the mind feels relentless. Thoughts rise like storm winds, swirling through our grey matter with a force that seems beyond our control. Scripture is clear that such mental assaults are not imagined; they are part of the enemy’s strategy. “The devil…walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he…
https://wordpress.com/reader/feeds/154350638 Some sins don’t make headlines. They never need a lawyer. Never make the evening news. They simply keep asking someone else to clean up after them. READ MORE.
I almost died in a car wreck the other day. I was on the four lane topping a hill, when I looked for just a half-second at the radio. And as I crested the rise, something had me look up, and there the pickup truck was, moving slowly in front of me. I swerved to…
https://bornagain732com.wordpress.com/ “When the waves crash around us, we’ll be held fast.” ~Shared Hebrews 6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul.” It’s morning, so my husband opens his phone to select his favorite gospel song, “My Soul Is Anchored.” The lyrics express hope in God in turbulent times. Dan sings along, the words…
Is Faith a Gift or a Reliance? From one essay I recently read came the following: “Ephesians 2:8 – for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; – Grace means salvation comes through Faith which is an unmeritorious gift that is not inherently part of natural man; a…
Did you know God expects us to seek His truth, and to also execute judgment? We find the answer when Jerusalem refused to repent even though God was willing to pardon them if they would (Jeremiah 5:1-4) Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in…
“Love is the fulfilling of the law.” Which law? The Ten Commandments, the breaking of which constitutes the definition of sin (I John 3: 4; Rom. 13: 8-10). Which “love” is it then? It is the love from above–agape love. It is only through agape love that the law can be kept. Natural man without this love cannot keep…
Through the years I have heard more than one person say “Oh, I’m a sinner saved by grace” as they continue to live in their sin. WHAT! Is this really all Christ did at the cross to suffer so that we may remain in our sin and claim we are saved? What did Jesus mean…
